Miami-OH RedHawks

On the brighter side, there were no injuries reported last week. Brett Gabbert and Rashad Amos both underperformed in week one and will need to improve in order for the Redhawks to have a chance against UMass. Gage Larvadain had a promising eight catches for 80 yards and will likely be a focus of the offense against a weaker defense. With a ranking of 97, Miami-OH is #36 in offense, #32 in defense, and 0-1 (0-1 ATS) this season. Miami (OH) looks to turn their performance around on the road against UMass.

UMass Minutemen Analysis

UMass Minutemen had an impressive start to the season with a win in week one, only to suffer a 45-point loss in week two on the road. Back at home this week, the Minutemen will be looking for another win to set the program in the right direction. The offense has been particularly impressive, ranking #7 in scoring (41 points/game) and has been aided by the addition of Indiana transfer Taisun Phommachanh, who has already eclipsed the century mark in rushing yards. On the injury front, Tim Baldwin Jr. is the only player on the report and his emergence in the backfield could help bolster this offense even further. The defense has been solid, ranking #27 and Tyler Rudolph has been leading the way in tackles, sacks, and pass deflections. Looking at the last three matchups with Miami (OH), UMass has a 1-2 record and 2-1 ATS.

UMass Hopes to Rebound After Difficult Match against Miami (FL)

UMass is hopeful of increased performance this season, following a game against a likely Top 25 Miami (FL) opponent which was difficult to measure. The Minutemen have returned their quarterback and key offensive pieces, however their defense exhibited some difficulty during the competition. Additionally, their offense similarly struggled against Auburn, leading to an anticipation of the game against New Mexico State being an anomaly for this group. Phommachanh, although listed on the injury report, appeared to be walking with difficulty at the end of their last game, which could impact the offense detrimentally. Records show that UMass is only 2-8 in their last ten games stretching back to last season, emphasizing their difficulty in staying in games.
